A silver McLaren MP4-12C supercar with a tad less than 2,500 miles on its odometer has come up for sale in The Netherlands, priced at only 129,500 euros (approximately $169,250). That may seem like a lot but in The Netherlands pricing on the MP4-12C starts at almost double this figure. We’re pretty lucky that it only costs around $229,000 here in the U.S. brand new. While it may seem that Dutch buyers suddenly have a bargain on their hands, there’s one major catch: the car has been involved in a crash and is yet to be repaired. According to Autoblog.nl, which first spotted the...

A Manchester, New Hampshire driver got the morning commute from hell today, cruising down Beech Street and straight into a large sinkhole. Helicpoter footage of the incident shows a Kia Rio held up at each end by the rim of the sinkhole, huge chunks of asphalt and a gas line below.
